Never Another Broken Link!

Here's an idea...well, some background first. I just posted a message and wanted to link to a couple of books that I recommended. It took me several minutes to retrieve the url's that would point to the books on Amazon's site...how archaic. The url's were filled with tons of unreadable codes, so I don't even know if they will work, now, in a week, or in a year. So why not form links in a whole new way--Jeez, someone must have though of this before and already offer some web service to the likes--so if I want to link to something that isn't on my site I can just put in the link like this... The Logic of Failure and the link would just work. Come on, there has to be some kind of Firefox plugin that does this? Right?
